PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE

MONDAY, JUNE 22, 2026

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City of Durango Community Development Commission (CDC) will conduct a public hearing on Monday, June 22, 2026, at 5:00 PM. This meeting will be held at City Hall at 949 E. 2nd Ave with an option to attend virtually via Teams. All persons may appear at the hearing and present written and/or oral testimony regarding this proposal. Please visit www.durangoco.gov/meetings for the link to the virtual meeting.

The Community Development Commission will consider the following public hearing items:

1304 Main Avenue (PR-26-22) - 1304 and 1310 Main Avenue and 119, 131 and 135 East 13th Street Major Site Plan and Conceptual Major Subdivision Review. The applicants are proposing eight residential condominiums and three retail spaces with an associated parking structure along Main Ave. and E. 13th St. on a total of 0.26 acres. A commercial building along Main Ave. and three residences along 13th St. are proposed for demolition. This Mixed-Use development on three lots in the city zoned Central Business District will include below grade parking on two levels, retail and commercial on the ground level, and residential condominiums on the next three levels for a total of four stories with additional rooftop patios above.

455 & 589 High Llama Lane (PR-26-5) - Vero Ridge Conceptual Subdivision Plan (NOTE: This item was continued to June 22 from the May 18 meeting). The applicants have submitted a Conceptual Subdivision plan that shows 194 units on the 28-acre property. This results in a density of 6.9 units per acre. The development is primarily on the lower and less steep portion of the site adjacent to High Llama Lane with the upper part being conserved as open space. The units are proposed to be a combination of townhomes, duplexes, and single-family homes in a mixed housing neighborhood. The subdivision shows a street and alley network to access the residential units and also to provide utility services to the proposed lots. The applicants are proposing to build the subdivision in two phases moving from north to south.

1164 Carbon Junction (PR-26-41) – Aus Enterprises Tract 1-R-A Annexation, Initial Zoning, and Lot Consolidation. This is a request from Aus Enterprises, the owner of a small residual piece of property between 1164 Carbon Junction and 1140 Carbon Junction, to annex and consolidate the residual lot into the larger adjacent lot. The annexation of this parcel was paused during the previously-approved annexation of 1164 Carbon Junction until ownership uncertainties were resolved. The piece of property is 5-feet wide by approximately 640-feet long and will be consolidated into the larger adjacent tract which is also owned by Aus Enterprises.
